Description

Triple bill of Japanese action thrillers set in 16th century Japan. In 'Band of Assassins' (1962) Ishikawa Goemon (Raizô Ichikawa), a young ninja, must travel across a divided Japan on a mission to assassinate a warlord who intends to unite the warring factions. In 'Revenge' (1963), Goemon attempts to live a quiet, more settled life, but when war rages on and threatens his community, he is forced to carry out his next assassination.

Finally, in 'Resurrection' (1963), Goemon recovers from a terrifying ordeal and hunts down the evil warlord responsible to bring about his demise.
